I wrote last night that I felt Texas A&M had done enough to earn a national seed come Selection Monday. I outlined my reasoning, and included this nice graphic that compared the teams in the mix for a national seed.
I guess when I remember that this is an NCAA Selection Committee we are talking about, I shouldn't be shocked that they ended up giving TCU a national seed over A&M. Despite the fact that there really was not a single metric that favored TCU over A&M with the exception of the fact that TCU did win a very bad Big 12 Conference, the Committee felt they were more deserving of a Top 8 seed.
